Exploring the Short North can be a great way to get off of campus and see some of the unique things Columbus has to offer. If you’re looking to skip the mall and find more unique clothes at boutiques you’ll find a wide range of shops dotting High Street. There are stores for every style and price range making it the perfect place for shopaholics! Below are some of my favorite stores and boutiques where you’ll find one of a kind items in the Short North:
Fashion:
If you’re looking for some new trendy pieces for your closet stop by Pitaya and Figleaf Boutique, both located closer to campus in the Gateway District, for cute new dresses or the perfect sweater! Farther down High Street you’ll find Vamp Official where you’ll be able to find chic matching shirt and skirt sets along with some great accessories. The best part about these stores is that they all have online shops as well!
